Victorian Elegance comes alive for you nestled in the bluffs of Historic Dubuque. The Hancock House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, shows Queen Ann architecture at it's finest.

Built in 1891 by Charles T. Hancock. The third son of John T. Hancock, Charles succeeded his father as head of the Midwest's largest wholesale grocer and distributor, the profitable JOHN T. HANCOCK & SONS. A business leader in his community, Charles was active socially as a member of the board of trustees in the local Methodist Church and succeeded his father on the board of Dubuque's beautiful Linwood Cemetery. He was later active in racing at Nutwood Park and he was elected chairperson for the Iowa Republican Central Committee in 1898.
